Online Library

Tacoma Public Library accounts and connected eResources may be unavailable from Sunday, June 7 at 9 p.m. through Tuesday, June 9 as we perform system updates. Content on OverDrive/Libby and Hoopla will still be available on those apps. Thank you for your patience.

Your Sounds of the Season

Do you have a holiday tradition you would like to preserve for future generations? Perhaps a special toast or ritual around the dinner table? Or maybe it’s a story told by grandpa by the fire before gifts are shared? Whatever your unique tradition, preserving these moments and sharing them with others transports the spirit of the season across time and distance.

This season, use your Tacoma Library card to check out an easy-to-use digital audio recorder to make your memories last forever. With easy-to-use controls and a little creative narration your home can be the perfect setting to create a CD, podcast or MP3 for posterity.

Contact Tacoma Library’s Digital Media Lab at (253) 292-2001 ext. 1795 or send an email to jhargis@tacomalibrary.org to reserve your device and find out more. Our lab is located at the Downtown Main branch and features specialized editing tools, professional music-making software and digital recorders to make a family oral tradition come to life: just in time for the holidays!
